DISMANTLING BANKSY

A new Banksy piece for the Jubilee appeared in London yesterday depicting a child laborer sewing British flag bunting. It was coyly placed on Poundland (UK's version of the Dollar store). As you'll see below, the insidious aftermath that took place isn't surprising but demonstrates that no Banksy street piece is sacred—and that people will do whatever it takes to get a piece of the elusive street artist.

Classic Banksy craftsmanship. Look how hard this child is working to get the UK ready for the Jubilee.

 Bunting barons begin to descend on Poundland.

More bunting thieves. Tossers.

Phew, some bunting remains in tact.

Ah, but not for long. All that's left is a lonely child and his sewing machine. End Day 1 of new Banksy Street art.

EINE IS HAVING 'THE STRANGEST WEEK'

If you haven't heard of Ben Eine by now, he's the British street artist known for his fancy letters and the 21st Century City canvas that the British PM gifted to Barack Obama last week. Looks like the out-of-left-field buzz has generated this banging response over on Hackney Road in London. via: Urban Art Association

STIRRING THE ENGLISH TEA POT

Over in the U.K., advertisers, or those with the proper media buy, are getting their message out about British women in the work world. Pretty bold move and sure to stir quite a storm in the knitting circles and corner offices. Via: adfreak

The goal of this campaign at Britianthinks.com is to show, well, outdoor advertising is still effective in driving home a message.
